    opinons on my build

    Hello,

    The last time I build a pc was 15 years ago. I want to treat myself to a gaming PC. My budget is base on best bang for bucks. so not necessary after the fastest but just want to be able to play 1080p now and upgrade to a 144hz monitor next year.


    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (£177.18 @ Aria PC)
    Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard (£89.99 @ Amazon UK)
    Memory: Patriot Viper 4 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (£62.92 @ More Computers)
    Storage: Sabrent Rocket 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£59.99 @ Amazon UK)
    Video Card: Asus Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Video Card (£363.48 @ Ebuyer)
    Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case (£60.46 @ Scan.co.uk)
    Power Supply: Corsair Vengeance 650 W 80+ Silver Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (£74.98 @ Amazon UK)
    Total: £889.00

    Any suggestions for modification most welcome.

    I haven't chosen a cooler yet. I prefer quiet over performance so would appreciate some suggestions.

    Y.

    I'm not sure why nobody replied. I can recommend Noctua CPU coolers and fans though. Did you build your PC yet?

    I have got the parts above apart from the 5700XT graphic card. I have currently have the system running with a GTX950 for the time being. The cooler is still the stock AMD wraith running around 60 idle and 80.

    Looking at the chassis, the only light is from the Tomahawk Mobo. I think I need to RGB to brighten it up . edging towards a RGB Cooler now.

    The problem that I might have to tower coolers is that the RAM stickers are 1.68 inches (42.672) which might be too high for some.

    Has anyone got a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm Multi-Compatible All-In-One CPU Water Cooler. apart from RGB it appears to be one of the better AIO out there. would that fit in my NZXT H510 case?

    Check out the beQuiet dark rock slim. It is a great performing cooler with an almost inaudible fan even at full speed. But the main reason I would recommend it is because it doesn't obstruct RAM and especially if you have RGB ram where you don't was to block the light strips on the heatsinks. The dark rock slim is also fully black and blends with almost any build. Reasonable price too.
